Good Points:
1) Durable:- As mentioned in the product description, the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender is built to a very high standard. The Oster All-Metal Drive contains no plastic parts and is much less likely to break than lower quality drives which do feature plastic parts. The glass jug is also much better quality than the standard plastic jugs that often come with blenders and is very durable. This all adds up to create a quality, long lasting blender that will serve you well for many years.
2) Multiple Speed Settings:- Another thing that sets the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender apart from its competitors is its variable speed settings and pre-programmed settings. Most blenders in this price range have one or two speeds at best but the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender features more than treble this amount. This gives you much greater control when blending and allows you to blend, chop and puree your foods to a much higher standard.
3) High Performance:- As well as being durable and having lots of speed settings, the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender also performs to an extremely high standard. The blades do a great job of chopping through all types of food while the reversible motor ensures that no chunks get left in your blended mixture and create a lump free, consistent smoothie every time.
4) Low Price:- While there are cheaper blenders available, when you consider that the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender packs a 600 watt motor, it represents great value for money. Most 600 watt blenders cost well over $100 to buy, so to get this blender for around half that price is a steal.
Bad Points:
1) Noisy:-The only negative with the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender is that it is noisy, even for a blender. This isn’t a big issue and as long as you don’t do your blending at 3am, it shouldn’t cause any problems. However, if you live with other people and don’t want to disturb them, it’s something you may want to consider before making your final purchase.
Summary:
Overall, the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender does very little wrong and represents great value for money. It does make a lot of noise but in terms of performance and build quality, it can’t be faulted. If you can deal with the noise and want a blender that makes perfect smoothies every time and will last you for years and years to come, you’ll be very happy with the Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender.
